Morning all
Blue skies out. Haven’t been for a walk yet, but that’s next on the agenda.

Afternoon all, local time 1206

Sunny. Currently 25 degrees with a high of 33 expected. Barometer down to 1017 mBar.

Sunrise 07:47; Sunset 20:38 CEST

HWMBO is better but yesterday I fell to the same sickness so no outings happened while I spent the afternoon and early evening throwing up. Slowly mending but we won't be doing much today either. Such a shame that the holiday days we had planned have been ruined by nasty gastric bugs. Not entirely convinced it was food poisoning, can't see where it would have happened.

Heading home tomorrow.

Cloudy day, though some patches are thin enough to have a slight blue tint showing through. There's going to be a brief attempt at a heatwave this weekend; it's already 18°C and aiming for 21°, with 24° expected tomorrow, failing back to the teens on Monday. The barometers are about the same at 1007/1015mB

A towel wash is on as part of the process of dealing with the backlog of laundry that has accumulated

[NickFitz]

Lunch was a ham bap

The towels have been successfully washed and dried. I've now activated the "rinse out fluff" program, as there seemed to be a minor accumulation thereof

I've had it with loony lady 2, can't take any more listening to her repetitive yacking and doing her favours. I wouldn't mind helping out if it was something important but today she insisted on me driving her to the nearest town just to get a bottle of Roses lime juice and refused to get out of the car. From previous such trips I know I would have been hanging round at least half an hour outside the supermarket.

Tea was brought to me from KFC

Lots of wildlife stuff as usual today, including a repeat of the first couple of episode of the otters in Singapore

But for some reason they once again stopped the wildlife at six in favour of a documentary about Steve McQueen followed by The Great Escape

So I watched the first of a two part thing about the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami on All4

And continuing the adventures of the new washer-dryer, a mattress topper and set of pillow protectors have been washed and dried

Goodnight all

Morning all
Was about to go out for a walk, then the heavens opened, along with a few rumbles of thunder. Waiting for it to ease before we venture out.

Nice hagiography. . Particularly the approach he took to The Great Escape. Rewrites to make his part bigger. Oooer, mrs.

Morning.

Sunday.

Dry.

Grey.

Cool in here at 19.7 deg, 20.5 in the kitchen, 19.5 in the leanto.

998 mBar, 29.47 in Hg, 748.6 Torr, 14.4747 psi, (down from 1001 last night), 70% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 14th of February 2020 BR14 and Brillo competed for a pali, NF congratulated the latter, whilst I was in with the hoi polloi after going shopping.

Raining.

Freecell score: 95%, running average: 84%.

Lunch: brunch.

Freecell score: 88%, running average: 84%.

Tea: beans on toast.

Entertainment: some bollox on R4 about the Gulf.

Nixon in the Den on PBS.

25 best Westerns on Sky Arts.

Sergeant Cork S1 E2 "the case of the girl upstairs". Didn't like that one much.

Looked to be VTR judging by the dropouts. Does no one know how to adjust a dropout compensator any more? Though some defects looked like film.

Forbidden History bollox on Blaze: CIA mindcontrol. followed by the turgid search for King Solomon's Mines.

Well it set me up for a decent night's sleep which can't be bad.

There's quite a bit of rather wispy cloud about but the sun's getting through the gaps and thinner patches enough for it to be considered sunny out, albeit in a slightly muted way. Going to be rather warm too: it's already 18°C and will get up to 23° this afternoon. The barometers are plummeting though: 995/1003mB

Meanwhile in here, the washer-dryer is now tackling bed linen
